Yes, it is possible.

In order to achieve gender equality in our society,

There must be a rebuilding of values

And culture as well.

And this cultural change must occur in a comprehensive way,

So that woman is not seen in society only

As housewives

Or the "lady of the home."

 

Men must change their way of thinking.

Domestic services are not just women's jobs.

Men claim that caring for their homes and their children

Is not a macho type,

Which is a woman's thing.

 

This has to change.

And this change will only be possible

With the strength and the voice of all.

Because with the union of all it is possible!

Equality right now!
